[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.4

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 04/10/25. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=23.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=23.11-staging&id=72c75dbc79f0e32a4dc066a8e664c8095a257e85

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] doc: fix feature flags for queue start/stop
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit 4f6641cbdd571433d38fd82781916e0f1e64908b ]

Several drivers have mismatch between the ethdev ops for queue
start/stop and the documentation. The gve driver does implement
queue start/stop support. The mana, netvsc, virtio and vmxnet3
drivers do not implement the rx_queue_start callback.

Fixes: 410333da8b5f ("net/mana: start/stop Tx queues")
Fixes: beff6d8e8e2e ("net/netvsc: add documentation")
Fixes: 9db3f52126fb ("doc: generate NIC overview table from ini files")
Fixes: 24595041937e ("net/vmxnet3: update feature doc")
